Here is a couple of recipes that hopefully you will like... the first one is how to make "Whizz-Fizz" or sherbert as we call it in Australia, the second is for a killer chocolate mousse...
SHERBERT
1 part bicarbonate of soda
1 part citric acid
13 parts icing sugar
Mix the above ingredients and place in airtight container. NOTE: You can use a teaspoon, tablespoon, cup, whatever to measure out each part... but keep the ratio and it will be great!
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
4 oz (120g) milk chocolate
5 oz (130g) dark chocolate
3 fl oz (85ml) milk
12 fl oz (350ml) whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 egg whites, at room temp
1/8 tsp salt
squeeze fresh lemon juice
1. In heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt the chocolate.
2. Scald the milk in a small saucepan. Remove the bowl of chocolate from the heat and whisk in the warm milk until smooth. Let cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, whip the cream with the vanilla until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until needed.
4. Using an electric mixer and a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt and lemon juice until stiff peaks form (do not overmix or mousse will be grainy). Fold into the chocolate mixture in 3 stages.
5. Gently fold the chocolate and egg white mixture into the vanilla flavoured whipped cream.
6. Transfer to a pretty serving bowl or individual stemmed glasses. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour.
